The Dullest Arts District Money Can Buy?

Actually, this piece that appeared in the “Chicago Tribune” isn’t as critical as my headline would imply; but it certainly points out that there’s more to be done to make the Dallas Arts District the grand fusion of streetlife and art that turns public spaces into people places (a la Millennium Park) and to give meaning to what (in the most painful comment) is referred to as “an architectural petting-zoo.”

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.
